Arrived in Singapore
12 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Made it to Singapore after a 12 hour flight from Heathrow. I actually managed to sleep on the plane for about four hours and binge watched Netflix, not things I do very often.

Went for a quick stroll around the area when I arrived and had some food. I kinda like it here, just need to plan tomorrow before bed...Leia mais

Asian Civilisations Museum
13 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Visited this museum and thought it was really interesting. It had loads of Chinese ceramics that were found in a shipwreck, then talked about how trade impacted on the goods that we being produced. It also has stuff on the impact of religions arriving in regions and being integrated, also locals creating things for that religion even though they don't believe in it. It was really interesting to see and read about.

Highlights though, for the wrong reasons... awful drawing of a bird on the Chinese ceramic bowl middle left (middle right is how it's done), upside down skull cup on top of three smaller skulls, and Groot.Leia mais

Merlion
13 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ 🌧 29 °C
So apparently the Merlion, a symbol of Singapore, was made up by someone on the tourist board. They made it into a fountain and it is ranked in Japan as one of the top three 'major disappointments of the world'.

A Singapore must-see!

Had a decent view over the water to the Marina Bay Sands crazy hotel at least.Leia mais

Gardens by the bay - cloud forest
13 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ 🌧 29 °C
Visited the gardens by the bay and I really enjoyed it. I think it just beats the living rainforest in Swindon...

I could probably upload a hundred pictures of the place, but I've broken it down into areas. The first was the cloud forest. So many flowers, including man eating ones. Came away thinking I need more orchids...Leia mais

Gardens by the bay - Flower Dome
13 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ 🌧 29 °C
Next was the flower dome. Thinking back on it, probably lacking in flowers to call itself that.

Had some cool stuff though, including a flower pun with Aloes in Wonderland, Disney Tsum Tsum themed Christmas area, and rock plants, some of those rocks are plants!Leia mais

Gardens by the Bay - Supertree Grove
13 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Last thing for the day was the supertree grove and the light show. It was cool being up high, as always. The view of the city as the sun was going down was really pretty too.

The light show was really good, pictures don't do it justice, partly because there's no 80's music.

... The was also a floating baby thing...Leia mais

Chinatown
14 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
So today was less busy and had less main sights and more wandering and exploring.

Visited Chinatown, it was a bit early it seems, only 11am. I think most of them were still sleeping.

Did get to visit a pretty cool Buddhist temple, the Buddha tooth relic temple no less. His tooth must have been in there somewhere. It was big and looked cool.
Seems that for a small donation of £50 I could also get someone to do all the praying to my guardian deity for me too. Wonder how much it costs for full enlightenment...Leia mais

Little India and Hindu Temples
14 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
While in Chinatown (weirdly) and also in Little India I got to visit some Hindu temples. Don't think I've visited one before. The towers are kinda cool, there's a lot going on, but the inside (if you can call it that) was a bit... meh. Based on that, it's not the religion for me I'm afraid. I'm out.Leia mais

Shopping!
14 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Everyone knows how much I love shopping. Singapore had a crazy amount of malls, so I had to visit some. Went to ION orchard on orchard road, almost bought some clothes too.

I did eat here at least, walked past a place that had katsu curry on the menu. Had to go in, it was called monster curry. The plate was huge, way bigger than my head... possibly bigger than my stomach, so I'm not sure how it was supposed to fit. I didn't finish it anyway.

There was also some Disney stuff around on orchard road, and I bumped into a Salvador Dali sculpture, homage to Newton.Leia mais

Viajante I'm not sure, I could have gone for the normal one, but she offered the monster curry one... I gave in.

Viajante I might not have, there were kids on it before the picture and kids about to get on. That's why I didn't, obviously I would have otherwise...

Pokémon in the rain
15 de novembro de 2018, Cingapura ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Today I was planning on waking around and seeing a few different things along with playing some Pokémon Go. Unfortunately it was raining and pretty heavy at times. So I only played so much, but managed to catch some legendary Pokémon, won't mean much to most people but people in Singapore are still cool enough to still play!

Went to Fort Canning park, there were so many poké stops, unfortunately the top seemed to be closed. So I kept walking, saw a cockerel, more Disney things and almost bought a chicken katsu sandwich... until I realised what it came with... what's wrong with people.

Off to Malaysia this evening.Leia mais
